How to fix frame drops in Forza Horizon 5 with DDR4 3200?
It was absolutely ridiculous; every time I was sprinting toward the finish line, the game would just skip frames—like three times a second. It felt like I was playing a low-budget slideshow. I checked the latency on my 8GB G.Skill Trident sticks and saw it swinging wildly between 75ns and 110ns during heavy environment streaming, which basically throttled my CPU. I tried the 'Ultimate Performance' power plan in Windows, but all that did was make my fans sound like a jet engine while the stuttering stayed exactly the same. I went straight into the BIOS, pushed the memory voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V, and set the game process priority to 'High' in Task Manager. According to RTSS, my 1% lows jumped from 22 FPS to 41 FPS, and the screen finally stopped twitching. I actually fat-fingered the voltage setting the first time and got five BSODs in a row, which was terrifying. RAM temps are now 42-48℃, and fan speeds are steady at 1400-1600RPM.
